nScaled Selects Equinix to Support the Expansion of its Cloud Disaster Recovery Services

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — November 29, 2011 —Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), a provider of global data center services, today announced that nScaled is leveraging Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in London and Ashburn to deliver its hybrid cloud and disaster recovery services to customers. nScaled has also opened a storefront in the Equinix Marketplace™ to promote and sell its services to the more than 4,000 potential customers that are on Platform EquinixÔ.

Part of Equinix’s growing ecosystem of more than 800 cloud and IT service providers, nScaled provides hybrid cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for the enterprise. nScaled offers risk-averse customers multiple cloud solutions, including primary application hosting, disaster recovery and backup. With Platform Equinix, nScaled benefits from the ability to connect to network and service providers to quickly and securely deploy services to customers. Equinix’s global footprint of highly secure data centers enables nScaled to offer services that meet the most stringent compliance requirements and deliver end-to-end enterprise-class service.

“For nScaled to deliver enterprise-class cloud infrastructure to our risk-averse customers, it’s vital that we build our Remote Cloud data centers in the best available co-location facilities,” said Mark Hadfield, CEO at nScaled. “In addition to providing world-class IBX facilities, Equinix also has the global reach we need as we expand our business worldwide.”

Backup and disaster recovery services must deliver a level of redundancy that allows for a rapid recovery and return to operations. nScaled leverages snapshot technology for near-continuous backup, allowing customers to recover in minutes using either remote or local infrastructure. The network density, standardization and consistency of services provided by Platform Equinix allow nScaled to maintain an extremely high level of service to its customers.

“The combination of Platform Equinix and the Equinix Marketplace gives nScaled the opportunity to open up new revenue streams by connecting directly with Equinix customers who require hybrid cloud services to support deployments in new markets or to meet their operational or disaster recovery needs,” said Vince DiMemmo, general manager of global cloud and IT services for Equinix.
